The following from “Boyd Family Descendants, Wm. P. Boyd 1912.
Robert M. Boyd was a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. He was born
here in 1772, and at a young age learned the blacksmith trade. He emigrated
from here to Bath, New York in 1799, taking the route by the way of the
Susquehanna, Chemung and Coshocton River on what was known as the old
General Sullivan route of 1779, bringing with him his kit of tools. From
here he went to Geneva, where he worked for a year, then went to Hopetown,
Yates county, New York. In 1804 he united his destinies in marriage to Miss
Rebecca Woodhull, a daughter of Tompkins Woodhull, then an early settler of
Benton, same county, who was born in 1783, and died in 1854. They at first
took up their residence in Hopetown until 1824, when they moved to
Jerusalem, New York. While living at the former place, he continued to work
at his trade, except two years in Newark, New York, where he sharpened tools
for workmen on the Erie Canal. He died in Jerusalem in 1839. By his union to
Miss Woodhull their family consisted of six children, namely:
First: Alexander W., who was born in 1807. He married Rachael Fitzwater, a
daughter of Samuel Fitzwater of Jerusalem, New York in 1836. After their
marriage they resided in Penn Yan until 1850 when they moved to Michigan.
They had two children, Margaret and Stewart.
Second: Thompkins W. Boyd, the second son was born in 1809 and married
Rebecca Van Scoy, daughter of Timothy Van Scoy, in 1835. At first they
resided in Penn Yan and in 1839 moved to Harmonyville, Pulteney county, New
York, where he kept a Public House for some twenty years. His wife died in
1866, and their children were Elizabeth, Robert (who married Kitty Booth,
daughter of Spencer Booth of Spencerport, New York and then went to Saginaw,
Michigan), Elmira, Theodore P., Timothy T., George P., and Harrison P.
Third: Margaret, who was born in 1809 and died in 1832.
Fourth: Robert McDowell Boyd, who was born in 1814 and married Mary H.
Luther in 1840, who was a daughter of Elisha Luther. His home after his
marriage was on the Friends Track, number 44 in Jerusalem, New York, on
lands owned by his father-in-law. By occupation he was a farmer. His wife
was born in 1821, and their children were Sidney, Bennett A., Martha,
Tompkins, Charles, Abbott, Ellen M., and Frederick. Sidney married John
Waterhouse, Jr. of Pultney, and died in that township in 1866. Bennett
married Jane Briggs, daughter of Joseph Briggs of Potter, New York and
always resided in that town. The rest of the children in 1884 were single
and resided with their father.
Fifth: Martha R. Boyd who was born in 1816. She was married in 1834 and
became the second wife of Louis V. Durand, a native of France. He was a
noted Physician of Rochester, New York, and died in 1857. In 1884 she still
resided in Rochester and their children were, Adolphus, George and Robert.
The former died in the army in 1861, and George married and lived in
Buffalo.

He also was a Physician and lived at Fairport, New York. Their children
were, Ann, Louis and Rebecca.
Seventh: Mary Elizabeth Boyd was born in 1825. She married Levi Dildine of
Pultney and moved to Wayland, New York, where she died in 1854, leaving
